Pronunciation & Spelling
These words (seller, teller, dweller, speller, feller, cellar) all share the same stressed vowel /ɛ/ and ending /lə/, making them true rhymes with each other. However, the target word bookseller has a different stressed vowel /ʊ/ in the first syllable, so it does not rhyme with them. The spelling similarities (ending in -eller) can be misleading.
